I've seen the ads outside of Shady Maple farm market -- either Amish looking for someone to taxi them, or people willing to taxi the Amish about.
We lived a bit north of the Amish center of gravity in PA, but there were some and my Dad would go to Amish auctions, and ended up giving one family rides quite a bit.
So indeed people shouldn't have this image of a guy in a literal taxi cab with a meter and a light on the top out driving Amish around, in regards to the reports the perp was a taxi driver.
